As an Indian I would appreciate if this restaurant, does what an Indian hospitality greets with to others.
I went to this restaurant with my family on a Sunday lunch and we were the only one during that time who were in the restaurant.
Even though we had decided our orders the servers took 15 minutes to take our orders. As if this was not enough, we were not even served with water after taking our order.
We had ordered chicken Tikka bhuna and mix vegetarian with plain nan, garlic nan, Coriander nan and chapati to try out bits and pieces of every dish.
The food was okiesh as it was not upto the expectations of an Indian dish or an Indian pallete.
Would recommend having something ready to eat from Tesco instead of wasting money for something not worth

Reviews
By far a better Indian restaurant in the town. Had a full dinner today with friends and It was good. The dishes were close to authentic, neatly served by kind staff and tasted good. Also, good response to the special requests made to the chef. Another highlight was the house special kulfi, very nicely made and served - a classical finisher.
Really disappointing experience overall. We visited last Sunday as a group of 10, and both the food and service were really bad.
I ordered the veg biryani (one of the very few vegetarian options available) and it was extremely underwhelming. The vegetables were noticeably undercooked, and the dish felt like plain rice with barely any actual vegetables or spices.
What made the experience worse was the service, particularly the manager’s behavior. He was consistently rude and unwelcoming throughout our visit. We asked a few polite questions about dietary options, but were met with dismissive responses. There was no basic hospitality,no water served, no attention to the table, and overall zero sense of customer care. The manager clearly lacks basic communication and customer service skills, which made the whole experience uncomfortable for our group.
Would not recommend this place to anyone.
